About that Pat Robertson jerk ...

Anyone who blames an earthquake on a fabled 200-year-old pact with a mythical figure is batshit crazy and utterly despicable. He should be ignored, shunned by all decent people. Anyone scheduled to appear on The 700 Club should cancel right away or forever be regarded as just one of Pat Robertson's kind. Unless that guest is going to tear him a new one on nationwide TV.

That's all I have to say.

ADDENDUM: One more thing -- the supposed devil pact was to escape slavery! And now Robertson is saying, basically, "Shame on you black folks for making a deal to help free yourselves from whip-wielding oppressors." Does that cracker Robertson have no decency or compassion? Holy freakin' shit, he's a hateful waste of flesh.

Pat Robertson has no creditbility with me and most folks I know,but here is a little fact that's never put out in the media,did we know that Haiti has large deposits of oil and gold in the north of the country?

Mike said...

Didn't know about the oil, Bigmac, but I did know about the gold. I've written several mining articles in the last 2 or 3 years, and I know Canadian mining companies have interests in Haiti.

TomCat, your curse doesn't go far enough for me. I can't describe how much animus I feel for the Rev right now.

He blamed 9/11 on America's tolerance of feminism, secularism, abortion, etc. He said that having gay people at Disney World might cause a meteor impact.

He lives in the Dark Ages.

With the natural resources,my question is why is the country so poor?

Mike said...

Jared Diamond has a chapter on the two countries of Hispaniola in his Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. It's depressing.

One difference between Haiti and the DR is in rainfall, which supports more productive agriculture in the DR.

But there are a whole bunch of social, political and historical factors as well -- like the way Europe basically snubbed Haiti after blacks took control of the country. Like I said, depressing.

And it scared the hell outta the US, not only that slaves could revolt but they might actually win!

Between Pat Robertson and Rush "limpballs" it's a toss-up as to which one is the more vulgar, foul, or offensive pot of verbal diarrhea!

redneckeliberal.blogspot.com did a post about the amount of time Fox news spent on the Haiti quake. It's repulsive. . . like most of the attitudes of right wing fundie type, dickheads.

Robertson speaks for a major segment of the US population, Christian fundamentalists. They are as crazy as the fundamentalists of any other religion.

I'm with Infidel, still waiting for the asteroids Pat said God would attack us with for putting up with all those nasty liberal ideas.

I haven't forgotten any of his send me money or God will kill me crap either

That the man's simple mind is rooted in 14th century beliefs, attitudes and prejudices is one thing, -that people actually tune into this escaped mental patient and hold him in any regard other than: "Holy shit, shouldn't this guy be under 24-hour psychiatric surveillance?" is truly embarrassing.

When Robertson this Hitchens quote regarding Jerry Falwell will be equally applicable: "If you gave him an enema you could bury him in a matchbox."

Mike said...

When Robertson *dies*

TomCat said...

When Disney World decided to end hiring discrimination against gay people, Robertson called for a national prayer chain to call down God's wrath as a hurricane striking Orlando. The next hurricane that hit the US mad landfall at Virginia Beach, Robertson's HQ. God has a sense of humor. :-)
